I want to work on improving my swimming to hopefully do a triathlon. I am really a lousy swimmer. I'm always the slowest person in the pool. My endurance is fine from running etc., but my strokes/form are terrible.
Everyone says masters swimming programs are the best workouts, but I don't want to go near one because I would lag behind even the oldest, most out of shape members.
What should I do?
Find a team in your area! I swam for years on my own, and I was nervous about joining a team. I am not fast either, but I have gotten better since swimming with the team. My team welcomes all levels of swimming ability. I have met the greatest people swimming on a team. Many teams will let you try out a few workouts to see how you like it.
